A place where you can have Indian food is great! It also does have more American food in the menu, for those who do not or have family who want to stick with what they know. My family has eaten a few times from here, taking carry out each time. Ordering is convenient as they both have a website and you can call in. The food is absolutely delicious! My family has eaten the following items: 1) Chicken Tika-Masala: Savory and spicy dish... has the right amount of kick to it: We love it! 2) Chicken Pakora: my personal favorite dish, its an appetizer. It is so good! It's salty, it's crunchy! Yum! 4) Butter Chicken: Families favorite dish. The delicious taste will melt you like butter under a. hot sun. 5) the rice and naan bread are very good. 6) Gulab Jamun. This dessert has just the right amount of sweet components! We should have bought more but will the next time! I could go on, this place is great! And we are very lucky to have this place open up! Highly recommend if you live in Van Wert! Cmon, try something new!

We had a range of appetizers from samosas to padpi chaat. All we tried were delicious. Our entrees ranged from Tikka Masala to Biryani to Curries, the Biryani and Curries came with a choice of meat- adding Garlic Naan bread made the perfect meal. Don't be afraid of the spice - the medium was easy. I'll step it up to spicy next time - but not 'Indian Spicy'. The food is all homemade by the owners and incredible. The service is also from family and impeccable. Anything that we were unfamiliar were clearly explained For anyone who is looking for a change from Van Wert' standard Mexican/Chinese/Beer Barrel options, I highly recommend Lucky's Hot Spice and Rice.

The service is always efficient and very pleasant. While I could go on and on and on about just how amazingly delicious this place is, let this be your sign to just go! You will NOT regret it!!!

Pretty extensive menu for a food truck, definitely something for just about everyone, from apps., breads, entrees, traditional drinks and desserts. I wasn't 100% excited about my dal makhani (spicy lentils w/rice) but that's on me, not them. It was a little too soupy for my liking, next time I'll try something else. My paneer paratha was a great alternative to the usual na'an, MUCH more flavor... I'd go for that option, or something similar, again. I asked for extra chutney, the green was great but the red was a watery mess. VERY reasonably priced, quick and friendly service, what's not to like?

So that gives you an idea of the inside, they have a mini-store with some Indian snacks, which are cool. The people there were very nice and accommodating.

Don't let him talk you off your normal spice though, he said they are hotter than other restaurants but they are not. My only real knock is the price. For north west Ohio they are expensive. AND, unbeknownst to us the rice was an extra charge beyond your dish.... Uh, what else I gonna eat with it bra!

I love peshwari naan and find it difficult to find sometimes, so I'm so glad they had it and as for the rest of the meal, we had the aloo gobi masala, and vegetarian platter, and all I can say is YUM! Would recommend for the service and food alone, but the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy and made our dining experience really nice, too.

Atmosphere and food are still great in my opinion. There was a little drink menu on the table that advertised Chai and a dirty chai. I ordered the dirty chai which was supposed to be $6.75 (already a lot for a small coffee) and my husband ordered a beer off another drink menu that was listed at $5. We were charged $7.05 for the coffee and $6.75 for the beer. Wouldn't have ordered either if the prices were printed correctly as I was already iffy paying the printed price.

The food tasted authentic, and every entrée was well prepared. They offer a great variety of curries, all of which were rich, flavorful, and satisfying! The lamb curry was especially good. The meat was tender and delicious. My only wish is that there had been a little more lamb in it! I also tried the garlic naan. It was good, but it wasn't quite as good as the best garlic naan I've ever had, which was served steaming hot, extra buttery, and packed with a strong garlic flavor. The complimentary mango drink was a nice touch and tasted great. They also offer ice cream for dessert. I tried the Campfire S'mores flavor as well as the Chocolate Brownie Pretzel flavor, and both were a perfect way to end the meal. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and even has what appears to be a private dining area in the back. The weekday lunch buffet is available until 2:30 p.m., and on weekends it's served until around 4:00 p.m. The weekend buffet is $16 per person. The buffet is a great value considering the quality and variety of the food. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!
